How it works

From a fresh server to live, in minutes

Reqad installs your whole hosting stack from one command, then gives you a clean dashboard to manage domains, email, databases and SSL.

root@rocky:~
# One command on a fresh Rocky Linux / AlmaLinux / RHEL 8 or 9 server
bash <(curl -sSL https://repo.reqad.com/install-el8.sh)
✓ Stack installed from your chosen template
→ Reqad is ready at https://your-server:2087/
01

Start with a fresh server

Spin up a bare-metal, cloud or virtual server with a clean Rocky Linux 8/9, AlmaLinux 8/9 or RHEL 8/9 install - from any provider (Hetzner, OVH, your own hardware). Network, hostname and DNS are all Reqad needs to begin.

02

Run one command

Connect over SSH and paste a single install command. Reqad sets up your stack from a template - automatically, or interactively if you prefer to choose. Pick the nginx + PHP-FPM modern stack (default) or Apache + PHP for full backward compatibility, each with an optional email server (exim + dovecot + Roundcube).

03

Log in securely

When the install finishes you get a secured URL with a randomly generated username and password. Access is protected by an automatically issued Let's Encrypt certificate on your server's hostname - no manual SSL setup.

04

Add your domain

Add a domain and choose, in a couple of clicks, whether to create its DNS zone, issue a Let's Encrypt certificate and enable email on it. Each domain runs under its own isolated system account.

05

Install your app

Create a MariaDB database and upload your site, or install WordPress in a few clicks (Magento 2 and more coming). Manage everything - email, databases, certificates, cron, services - from one dashboard.
